Preparation

1. Place the soymilk in a heavy, medium saucepan. Whisk in the gelatin.

9. Return this mixture to the pot, and return it to medium heat.
10. Cook, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the spoon, about 5 minutes.
11. When dragging your finger down the back of the spoon leaves a clear track, remove the pot from the heat and quickly pour in the lime juice.
12. Whisk in the tofu.
13. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until they are a soft, whipped mass.
14. Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
15. When it is completely dissolved and the whites hold their shape in the bowl, mix them into the egg mixture, using a rubber spatula.
16. When they are well, but gently, combined, pour the filling into the pie crust.
17. Chill the pie until the filling is set, about 2 hours.
18. Cover lightly with foil if not serving immediately.
19. Just before serving, sprinkle the lime zest over the top of the pie.
